- Abstract:
- The purpose of this report is to outline the preliminary findings from the first year of a two year pilot for the San Francisco Support at Home Program (S@H). This evaluation has two purposes: (1) Support continuous quality improvement of the S@H program through ongoing rapid data collection and analysis, and (2) Assess the overall efficacy of the program in maintaining residence at home, reducing hospitalizations and emergency department visits, controlling costs, and supporting a high quality of life. This report summarizes the context of the program and the importance within the current landscape within San Francisco. Next, it describes the Support at Home enrollees and their characteristics using a series of cross-tabulations to make comparisons between key variables. Third, it presents early data regarding the impact of the program on outcomes such as emergency department visits, including information gathered from focus groups held with family of program participants that illuminate how the program is affecting families. Finally, next steps for the evaluation as well as interim considerations are provided.
